 ['The size of the sea' But others say the debate is important because it can determine whether actions are taken that help stem the violence - or make matters worse.] The question is how you reduce the number of bases [the terrorists have] and the size of the sea in which they swim, ... What something like the Iraq war does is increase the number of bases you have to deal with and the sea they have to swim in.

 [Abdul-Jabbar is not the only former NBA player looking -- without success -- to get back in the game.] There are numerous Hall of Fame players who would like an opportunity to work in the NBA, ... and hundreds more who are not in the Hall of Fame. We field calls, meet with many of them and sometimes even hire them in our coaching camps to expose them to teams. In the end, the marketplace takes care of itself.

 [Acclaimed by the American Film Institute as one of the 100 greatest U.S. films of the last century, Mockingbird won three Oscars, including one for star Gregory Peck , who died in 2003. And it was Peters who read the eulogy at Peck's funeral.] In art there is compassion, in compassion there is humanity,
with humanity there is generosity and love, ... Gregory Peck gave us these attributes in full measure.

 [As for his diet,] he's solely consuming his mother's milk, ... We've already been giving him bamboo. It's very cute to watch him. He rehearses all the adult moves. He slouches back and holds the bamboo in his paws. He pulls the leaves through his mouth. He chews on them and he chews on the stalk. But he's not swallowing it. He's not eating it. We expect that milestone to occur sometime about a month from now.

 [But wouldn't it benefit Els, I asked, to prepare for the three U.S.-based majors by flying in two or three weeks early to adjust to the time difference and get used to the different playing conditions?] I disagree with that, ... If you're in a country four days before, that's plenty of time. I mean, Ernie has a G-5, he has a bed in his plane, he doesn't even have to pack his bags. It's a piece of bloody cake!

 [During his formative years in Charlottesville, Jason?s family participated in family traditions that left their mark on this insightful writer.] People might die, ... but traditions never do. Some of my fondest memories of my late father are tied into a special, private tradition we had. I hope, if nothing else, people start a Christmas jar, or a tradition that their children and grandchildren can talk about.

 [Even the Chicago Police are impressed with the result.] We think it's great, ... It's very innovative, taking data that we're already publishing on our crime site, which has been up since late 2000. By repackaging that information, presenting it in a highly interactive way with hyperlinks all over the place, it is easy to explore and to drill up and down in the data. It does some creative things with mapping.

 [Exactly where his house is now, Harvey says. In a small town in Connecticut. He's tearing down the one he lived in for 22 years and rebuilding.] My house was designed by a heterosexual architect for a heterosexual man, ... There was no woman involved. When I bought the house, there wasn't a broom closet. You have to walk with your groceries from the parking area through the entire house to get to the kitchen.
  Harvey Fierstein

 [Hicks, 54, grew up in Florida with a devotion to Southern culture, one inherited from his grandparents, who were wealthy farmers from western Tennessee.] I'd travel around with my family as a child, and you'd pass through these towns Charleston, small towns in Georgia and you'd see these signs, 'Where the Old South Lived, Where the Old South Lived, ... Well, here in Franklin, this is where the Old South died.

 [Just this summer, he and 10 former White Sox teammates were reunited on the occasion of an interleague series against the Dodgers, the teams' first meeting in Chicago since the '59 World Series. Shaw was invited to throw a ceremonial first pitch, which landed in the dirt at the catcher's feet.] Billy Pierce said, 'You've got to aim at his head, throw it high,' ... I said, 'Why didn't you tell me that before?'

 [Minority Whip Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nevada) said calling witnesses would extend the trial out unnecessarily.] They're talking about bringing Monica Lewinsky in. And what is the dispute? Both sides agree the dispute is as to whether or not the president touched her, or what time the relationship started, ... We don't need to get into this. This is something the American people, and frankly the Senate, is sick of.

 [Nor were painters the only ones who saw the mirror as a symbol.] [Shakespeare's] works are filled with references to mirrors, not only for vanity but for use in self-examination, ... In fact, there's a famous scene in 'Richard II,' when he's losing his kingship, he calls for a mirror, looks into it and asks, 'Why don't I look any different?' Then he smashes it on the stage and says, 'That's my old identity.'

 [South African-born Allen Cohen and his family moved from Telstone to Beit Shemesh this summer specifically so that his six-year-old daughter could go to Ahavat Yisrael, like his son, who began attending the male section of the school a year ago.] It breaks my heart, ... That was the main reason for coming to this area. Why do you stop a school from growing when it satisfies the majority of people in the area?

 [The oil fields of Pennsylvania and Kentucky, active for decades, are once again on the radar screens of savvy investors and drillers. The Cincinnati Business Courier reports that a local entrepreneur has seen the partnerships he's selling in Kentucky oil wells go like they're running on high octane.] I hate to call it selling, ... because all I have to do is tell people about it and they take it away from me.

 [There was media speculation last week that Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson was unhappy with the play-calling and the direction of the program. The suggestion that he might quit the team created such a minor sensation that Peterson, who hasn't spoken often to reporters this season, felt compelled to deny the reports.] I get upset because I'm competitive, ... But quit and walk off that team? That's loony.
